Precision Twist Drill 6001101 Taper Shank Drill Bit 1MT

Product Description

The PRECISION TWIST DRILL 6001101 is a taper shank drill bit designed for general-purpose drilling in metal, wood, and similar materials. It accepts a Morse Taper No. 1 (1MT) shank, making it compatible with drill presses and milling machines equipped with a matching taper socket. The cutting diameter is 0.3594 inches (23/64 inch), and the overall length is 6.75 inches. The bit is manufactured from high speed steel with an oxide finish that provides mild corrosion resistance and reduced friction during cutting. The 118-degree standard point angle is the conventional geometry for general metalworking and maintenance applications.

This bit is suited for use in machine shop, maintenance, and light fabrication environments where a taper shank connection is required for positive drive and accurate alignment. Typical installations include drill press work on steel plate, structural members, and similar stock. The spiral flute design with regular helix promotes efficient chip evacuation. The Series 209 designation follows ANSI standards, and the web-thinned tip reduces thrust requirements at entry. Cutting direction is right hand. Coolant-through capability is not included in this design.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or maintenance technicians familiar with taper shank tooling. Power down and lock out the machine spindle before seating or removing the taper shank. Clean both the shank and the spindle socket before insertion to ensure full taper contact and accurate runout. Use a drift and knockout bar through the spindle slot to safely remove the bit — never pry or strike the cutting end.
